Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With marathon season just around the corner, Amie and Jon sit down to chat all about preparing for your first marathon or ultra.
We pull together some of the best tips and lessons we've picked up from recent conversations with guests on the pod (along with a few things we've learned the hard way ourselves!).
From race day logistics and fuelling strategies, to thinking about event nerves and atmosphere, this episode is all about the small things that can make a big difference on the day.
We also talk about the mental side of long races, like preparing simple mantras for different stages of the run and how to stay calm when things get tough.
Whether you're lining up for your first marathon or tackling an ultra, we hope this episode will provide some practical advice to help you feel more prepared.
